24-Months STEM Extension and 150 Days of Unemployment

If the STEM OPT regulation is implemented as proposed, it would make the following changes to the program:

  • STEM OPT duration would increase from 17 months to 24 months.
  • STEM OPT would be available only through accredited U.S. institutions of higher education.
  • The maximum period of unemployment would increase for those with STEM OPT; students would be allowed up to 90 days of unemployment during OPT, plus an additional 60 days during the STEM OPT period, for a cumulative total of 150 days.
